Diocesan Press Service. February 16, 1973 [73046]
NEW YORK, N.Y. -- The Rev. Logan E. Taylor, vicar of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church, Wichita Falls, Tex., has been elected National Executive of the Church Army in the U.S.A., at a recent meeting of the Church Army Board of Trustees.
The Church Army in the U.S.A., Inc., founded in 1925, is a society of lay persons who serve the Episcopal Church by providing its dioceses, parishes and institutions with trained lay personnel for its ministries and services.
Prior to his ministry in the Diocese of Dallas, Father Taylor was associated for 10 years with the highly successful Idaho Pilot Diocese Project, where he served first as a layman and later as a non-stipendiary clergyman. He was at that time Director of Industrial Security at the Phillips Petroleum Company's atomic energy operations at the U.S. Atomic Energy Commissions National Reactor Testing Station in southeast Idaho.
Father Taylor has broad experience in marital counselling, as well as work with alcoholics, and youth problems, in addition to administration, management and fund raising.
Born in Sedalia, Mo., he received his education in Oklahoma, and is married to the former Carmen Cook, of Baxter Springs, Kansas. The Taylors have two children: Mark, who is married and lives in Idaho Falls, Idaho; and Karen, a student at Tarrant County Junior College, Fort Worth, Tex.
Father Taylor will assume his duties as National Executive on March 1st.
